SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

July 13 , 2019 . By Christian Tesfaye

Spider-Man: Far from Home’s plot betrays Marvel’s megalomania and serves to show how widely known the cinematic universe has become. Although the movie explores the bond between the late Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and his protégé, Peter Parke...

June 1 , 2019 . By Christian Tesfaye

There is a disease in Hollywood, and it is one that induces studios to shove the exact same plots down audiences’ throats. If it was not for the fact that Aladdin made over a quarter of a billion dollars in its first week of release, I would say that au...

Brightburn Fizzles Out

May 25 , 2019

Brightburn asks a critical question. What if Superman was not a good person? What if he did not take to our moral values? The film then proceeds to give us the answer predictably - he kills lots of people. For a film that wants to get serious about...
